M25 cameras - warning from BIB friend

[Mon Ami Mate]

The following email has just been forwarded to me from a trusted Met Police officer.

Subject: Variable Speed Cameras M25 Jct 10 -15
To Operational Officers,
I have received information from RPU Traffic Management that the company who look after the Variable Speed cameras between Jct 10 - 15 on the M25 on behalf of the Metropolitan police are ACTIVATING the cameras from 15/02/08. The current cameras are analogue and the speed for enforcement is set at 93mph. However the system is changing to Digital and the Commissioner as directed the company to set the cameras at ACPO guidelines, this will be 80mph.

I suggest that any incident you attend and have to use the M25 you put a marker in your PNB with the Icad number as this will no doubt create more work for the Inspector and Sgts to investigate speed complaints and the Icad number will assist us with regards to police purpose. If the incident is not police purpose then YOU will be liable for the offence of Speeding.

Full details of when the system goes live Digitally will be circulated once Traffic Management have the details
Regards
System Administrators
Could you forward to all other operational officers as this will affect them as well as majority use M25 to get around

Honestly chaps, my original source for this was VERY reliable indeed, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered posting. I'm sure this is genuine.
